I agree. Aesthetically, there was never a problem. BMW could throw all the luxury/tech features on but ultimately the F10 is going to be judged by the poor steering pre-LCI. Hopefully the LCI changes that.

That looks soooo ghetto. I understand the need to maximize profits, but approach it from the top down by increasing revenue, not by nickel and diming the production process with terrible shortcuts like this.

Wow.

Actually, BMW has moved the turn signals to the side view mirror housing across its range because of European laws going to effect soon that requires all vehicles sold in the EU to have turn signals in the mirror housing. BMW was the only manufacturer in Europe that still had them on the fenders.

I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I was not referring to the turn signals being moved to the mirrors, which I don't mind at all and actually prefer on most vehicles. What I was reacting to was the fact that BMW didn't want to create new front panels to account for this change, and instead appears to be continuing to use the pre-LCI panels and merely placing a model identifier/badge where the turn signal used to be.

Looks cheap, and reflects a poor cost-savings attitude on BMW's part for the world to see.

Not really dying for the new exterior - the extra lines in the front and rear bumper are superfluous.
LED headlight option for all models is cool.
E-class facelift interests me more, but perhaps because I don't have one.
